I am still waiting for your response. Why is my site not appearing in search engines? If possible, check the site.
Hello,
We sincerely apologize for the delay in our response. We understand your concern regarding your website not appearing in search engine results. There could be several reasons for this, such as indexing issues, SEO settings, or restrictions in your website’s configuration.
We have thoroughly reviewed the matter and can confirm that there are no issues related to our theme that would affect your website’s visibility in search engines.
Please note that XStore SEO options are designed to offer basic SEO functionalities for users who may not be using a dedicated SEO plugin. Since you are already using the Yoast SEO plugin, which provides advanced and comprehensive SEO features, we recommend continuing to use Yoast as your primary SEO tool.
There is no direct conflict between the XStore SEO options and Yoast SEO; however, having both active may lead to duplicate meta tags (such as meta descriptions and keywords), which could potentially confuse search engines and affect your SEO performance.
To avoid any duplication or confusion, we suggest disabling the XStore SEO feature if you are fully utilizing Yoast SEO. Go to Theme Options > SEO > Enable SEO settings > Off. This will ensure that only one set of metadata is being output on your product pages, maintaining clarity and consistency for search engines.

Thank you for your detailed response.
I would like to inform you that I have disabled the SEO settings in the XStore theme as advised, and I am currently using the Yoast SEO plugin exclusively for all SEO-related configurations.
Additionally, I have successfully submitted the sitemap to Google Search Console. However, my website still does not appear in Google search results.
Could you kindly advise on the typical timeframe for a website to start appearing in search results after submitting the sitemap?
Also, are there any specific recommendations or best practices to help improve the indexing speed and visibility of the website in search engines?
I appreciate your continued support.
Hello,
Thank you for your message and for providing the update regarding your SEO configuration.
We’re glad to hear that you have successfully disabled the SEO settings in the XStore theme and are now using the Yoast SEO plugin for managing your SEO. Submitting your sitemap to Google Search Console is an important step, and it’s great to know that this has been completed.
Regarding your inquiry, the timeframe for a website to start appearing in Google search results can vary. Typically, it may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for Google to crawl and index a new or updated website. This process depends on several factors, including the website’s structure, content quality, domain authority, and the frequency of updates.
To help improve indexing speed and visibility, we recommend the following best practices:
1. Ensure that your website has high-quality, original content that is regularly updated.
2. Use internal linking to help search engines discover all pages on your site.
3. Acquire backlinks from reputable websites to increase your domain authority.
4. Make sure your website is mobile-friendly and has fast loading times.
5. Use the “Inspect URL” feature in Google Search Console to request indexing of specific pages.
6. Avoid duplicate content and ensure that your meta tags (title and description) are unique and relevant.
Please note that while these practices can help, indexing is ultimately controlled by Google, and some patience may be required.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please contact the support team of the SEO plugin.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your continuous support.
I would like to inform you that I have disabled the SEO settings from the XStore theme and am now using the Yoast SEO plugin exclusively. I have also successfully submitted the sitemap to Google Search Console.
However, I’m facing an issue when trying to request indexing for specific product or page URLs. Every time I attempt to use the “Inspect URL” tool and click on “Request Indexing”, I receive the following error:
“We had a problem submitting your indexing request. Please try again later.”
This issue persists even after trying from different browsers and connections.
I wanted to share this with you in case it’s relevant to my site’s indexing performance, and I appreciate any additional advice you may have.
Dear @Omar Quddam,
We hope this message finds you well.
In this case, we kindly recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to ensure that GoogleBot or other web crawlers have not been inadvertently blocked.
Additionally, please verify that your website is not listed on Google’s URL Blocklist. You can check this using the following link: https://kinsta.com/blog/url-blocklist/
Should you have any further questions or require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,

The plugin is not compatible with WooCommerce. Will this affect the site and search engines?
Dear @Omar Quddam,
We hope this message finds you well.
Generally, blocking bots should not have a negative impact on your website’s SEO or its visibility in Google Search results.
Have you had a chance to contact your hosting provider’s support team regarding the issue of blocking all bots? They may be able to provide further assistance or clarification.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.
Best regards,
The 8Theme Team
